In order to have a whole, happy, and fulfilling life that aligns with our goals, we have to establish solid relationships not only with others, but with ourselves.

Today’s guest, Monique Melton, is a relationship and racial diversity coach with a passion for creating unity. Monique encourages others to do intentional heart work that will break down boundaries in their spiritual, personal, and relational growth.
